The 28-M electoral turn in the Balearic and Valencian communities can be seen from afar from Eixample or Empordà, but it also has ramifications in the Catalan language area, where a market of 7.5 million is not the same. almost one in 14 people. “We are in mourning” I was greeted with sarcasm but apprehension by Joan Gregori, president of the Valencian Music Association, who nevertheless loudly reiterated that we must “try to avoid ideological prejudices”.
The prophecy of sparse times is evident in many conversations these days. “Every time you send PPThey don’t call us to go to work.” The manager of Maria del Mar Bonet, Yanni Munujos, the Manager in Palma explains it to me clearly with reference to public theaters in Valencia or such as the Auditori de Castelló. “I foresee a return to the universities circuit.” It’s a viable shelter when they come in bad, as Raimon knows all too well.
The most disturbing is no longer the self-recovery of PP, sum with the asteroid called vox. An additive that is not guaranteed everywhere and whose weight will end according to the 23-J result.

Catalan”, Fanny Tur, who was a Balearic Culture ‘council member’ between 2017-2019, warns me.
It is feared that circuits will be neglected and interrupted in theaters and public auditoriums, in the case of Valencia, an ecosystem that later succeeded in strengthening it. eight years of efforts to organize and weave a stable dialogue. “We’re talking about culture in general, not just Catalan culture,” says Gregori, director of the Trovam music fair, who values formalized assistance as it corresponds to specific demands in the industry.
Inside Balearic Islandsalso allegiance to Institut Ramon Llull (a classic) is at stake, and the health of the Symphony Orchestra, which will soon have its own headquarters. And with a PP + Vox, it’s hard to imagine an Any Fuster like the one allied with the Catalan Government and Valencia and the Balearic Islands.
No government is perfect, but obstructions in election appointments have consequences, And those who are now spreading the abstention melody in Catalonia better look a little further south and to the sea, away from the idea that one government is the same as another.
